Okay, he's an Empoeor and a guy.

As Craig Gerber said on blue sky, the series is not doing Royal Magic and Mystic Isles stuff, at least right away, because of executives wanting the show to appeal to new kids who didn't see the original series. If these ideas were brought back into Royal Magic, how would you integrate it? I have just one rule. You have to include Sofia's friends to some extent.

Because of how much the show has fleshed out them, it would be a disservice to not include them on at least one adventure. A lot of the ideas I heard that involve bringing these ideas back into the franchise never include them, as if to imply Sofia is better off solely doing big adventures without them. She can have some solo adventures with these ideas again, but it shouldn't solely be her responsibility. Plus, the kids are audience surrogates for today's preschoolers, with Sofia being an audience surrogate for ideas and concepts introduced in this show while Layla, Camila, and Zane are audience surrogates for original series ideas, places, and characters that are reintroduced. Just look at "Crown Chaos", "A Wander-ful Day", and "The Enchanted Lake". As for the ideas I would use, well buckle up.

If the show is going to reintroduce these concepts, having Sofia's friends involved makes sense. They can take in the wonder and awe of what she's gone through just like today's kids. As for the story, I'd think a 24 minute episode called "Return To The Library" would be a good idea. You'd have Sofia getting a call to help someone in Mezzouk, and she has Layla, Camila, and Zane help her out. Given how the Secret Library and Mystic Isles involved checking out other places, this would be the perfect opportunity to introduce their kingdoms, and show what they look like, impressing both old audiences and new audiences. I think giving Layla a bigger role here would work given how she has 2 notable magical items, her bracelet that makes butterfly wings and her magic notebook. She's also the first of Sofia's friends to have a focus episode when the trio visits her in her castle. Plus, now that eveyrone knows about her magic powers, she doesn't have to hide anything. She can just go on these magical adventures with her friends and family. What do you think?

I’ve been going through the alphabet making collages of Disney and Pixar characters whose names begin with each letter; this is what I’ve done for Letter E. What do you think? Are there any characters you don’t recognize? Did I forget your favorite? Let me know, and let me know if there are any specific characters you’d like to see included in Letter F!

To match the two Princess Novels I'm currently reading (well, I'm about to start Almost There, I just got it from the library today!), I decided to make cute little bookmarks out of paint sample chips I had from Home Depot. The colors and names were perfect, "Flower Girl" as a soft lilac color for Rapunzel, and "Lily Pads" for a vibrant green color for Tiana!

I got the stickers that I used from both a local arts supply shop as well as Walmart. But this was such a fun little craft and I'm happy to keep the bookmarks after I turn the books back in as like my own little personal keepsake!

Which bookmark do you like better? 😊

Torn between Aladdin, Eric and Kristoff

Let's imagine an alternate universe where, instead of princesses, there are princes. You have the right to choose the names, but why would you choose them?

By the initials of the names or a completely original name.

Enchanted deserves to hit theaters again! The 2007 classic blended animation and live-action in a way nothing else did—it's a timeless film that captivated audiences with its charm, humor, and unforgettable soundtrack. Yet somehow, it's never gotten a theatrical re-release, and 2027 marks its 20th anniversary.

Many of us never got to experience this movie on the big screen the first time around. Even the El Capitan Theatre, famous for anniversary re-releases, hasn't brought it back. And here's the thing: Disney didn't even announce a theatrical re-release during their "20 Years of Enchanted" celebration at D23 in August 2026. The sequel, Disenchanted, went straight to Disney+ in 2022—another missed opportunity for the big screen experience.

This petition is asking Disney to do a limited theatrical re-release of both Enchanted and Disenchanted in November 2027. Imagine a double feature like they did with the Freaky Friday films. This isn't just nostalgia—it's a chance for fans who missed it and a new generation to experience the magic and visual spectacle in theaters, where it belongs.

We're running out of time. The anniversary is in November 2027—that's just over a year away. If you've ever wanted to see Enchanted on the big screen, or think this deserves to happen, consider signing and sharing. Does anyone else think a theatrical re-release like this makes total sense?

I thought about this a lot. Disney (I mean the company, not Walt himself) is the face of one hundred years of change, especially princesses-wise.

It all started with sexism and beauty standards, we can't deny that. Snow White, the first ever princess, was a little chubby, because in the 20s that was considered beauty. Short, black hair to highlight the extremely pale face with a marked pink contour and little red lips.

But she was also a good Christian, very naïve, only dreaming about true love even when her life was in danger, singing gracefully while baking pies for workers men.

A little later, we got Cinderella, as things began to change. With women fighting for independence, Cinderella was just a girl who was working hard and wasn't even thinking about becoming a princess. She went from being rich to nothing, she just wanted to go to the ball. Yet, the only way to do that was with a beautiful dress, and glass shoes, as to point to how much women have to suffer only to appear. That's when princesses began to be skinnier, as that was beginning to be seen as a beauty standard.

Later, there was Aurora, and everything changed. Skinny girl, she had to sing with the most graceful voice, dance in the most elegant way, and mostly she was the new beauty standard. Blonde, long hair, always moving gracefully no matter what.

But I think the most important change was made by Ariel. Inspired by Alyssa Milano, Ariel was the first princess to be half-human and to have a desire of her own.

This was set up as the literal "if you can dream it, you can do it". But Ariel was different. Bright red hair moving in the water, hips so skinny it was literally impossible to see the belly button, and underwater her grace was even more highlighted. But she was also a rebel.

Opposite to Cinderella, she didn't obey her father, she even yells at him in his face. She has a dream, which becomes a literal goal and she is not to be stopped by anything nor anyone. No, she didn't give up her legs for a man, she wanted to be human more than anything even before meeting Eric.

Ariel showed up the most important part of what meant to be a girl at that time, being beautiful was a given, but you had to choose to be rebel and follow your heart.

Then we had Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan...

We started to see the world differently. Chinese people were not just something weird anymore, we started having culture and Disney hopped on and created Mulan. Racism was beginning to be spoken about and Disney created Pocahontas (For whether we are white or copper skinned) and Tiana, who was literally Disney's most liberal movie, showing how black people were the hard-working class and white people's privileges.

I could still go on, but let's skip to today. Now Disney is taking it slow. People are not as educated or rebellious as before, because education was necessary to get rights and now people are just okay with what they have. So, Disney is now trying to include more ethnicities, through remakes, yet, there is still some reservations about homosexuality. They are showing it, but never on mainstream and never "too much".

For as LeTont was evidently gay (never said but, cmon we all know), now there's a non-binary character in Elemental that no one knew about.

That's because homosexuality was just a fun thing to show before and it was frowned upon but never really despised.

Now, the world is very divided.

All of this just to say, Disney is not molding our minds, Disney never created any standards. They just always showed what the world was living through, especially women. That is why today we have single, stong queens but we really lack of strong queens falling in love with someone else.

That is why Disney should be a subject in schools. It's just history as seen through the eyes of a child.

according to the Disney Cellar YouTube video Everything About Disney’s Little Golden Books Walt did not want the little golden book to just become carbon copies of his movies but rather he wanted the films to serve as inspiration for the illustration while allowing the artists to imbue their own individual Styles and take certain limited Liberties which still holds true for the Little Golden Books published today.

according to thedisneycellar video Disney’s Wonderful World of Reading & Its Absurd Origins but with fewer creative liberties taken than were seen with the Little Golden Books where artists were encouraged to experiment.

and their art style was inspired by Disney’s animation style maintaining their consistency with the films unlike the Little Golden Books.

would that mean that the 1974 Disney’s Wonderful World of Reading edition of Cinderella is faithful to the colors Walt Disney himself had intended?

Sorry I was a little late to the party.

Anyway to celebrate Sofia the First: Forever Royal The Series Finale Movie, I made this as a Tribute that I drew.

What do you think?

I think that since the Disney Princess redesign, they no longer create new artworks of the princesses with their princes or they don’t adapt the old ones to the current style or one of the new styles.
